section of the county, but the present
railroad facilities make us neighbors,
and the heretofore more favored
towns are seeking our acquaintance
and are inquiring what manner of
people we are, and what are our prod
ucts. They already know that we
raise men and women, second to none,
and that we have the brightest news
paper in the county, but they wish to
know of our farm products. What
of the horses and cattle, the cows and
the pigs, the turnips and squashes!
Now all these we raise in abundance
and, while in quality they may be
surpassed by our men, our women
and our newspaper, we shall not be-
lieve, until we see them placed side
by side with like products of other
towns, that they are inferior to the
general run of such products, and
not then, unless they fairly beat us.
We understand the railroad will carry
all stock and articles for exhibition
free, and persons attending the fair at
half-fare rates. This is very liberal
on the part of the company, and why
should not our farmer friends avail
themselves of these abundant facili-
ties and exhibit their own products
and view those from other towns
Read Mr.. Folletts letter, there is
much food for thought in it, then
answer to your own conscience and
enlightenment whether or no you can
afford to stay away from your county
fair.
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1887-09-15

We beg to call the attention of our
readers, especially the farming class,
to the very interesting letter we pub
fish in another column from j. o..
Follett of Townshend, superintendent
of the Windham County Fair. Mr..
Follett, who is a practical farmer and
a worker, puts in an earnest plea for
the county fair, which we wish to
supplement by a few words to our
farmer friends of Londonderry and
the northern end of the county. Lon
donderry has been favored with the
presidency of the society in the per-
son of its substantial farmer, l.. n.
Vale, and with the chief marshalship
to be represented by J. w. Mellen-
DIV. This alone should stimulate our
farmers to attend and carry the choice
products of their labor to be put upon
exhibition. For years the hill towns
of the upper West River Valley has
been, in a measure, cut off from q
free intercourse with the southern

Our Telegraph Business.

No country in the world begins to ap-
proach the United States in the magni-
tude of its Geographic business. In 1886
there were 667, 10 miles of wire in this
country. France came next with 205.-
40 miles, Germany third, 10000. and
Great Britain fourth with 1853, SOS miles.
IL is not only in extent of plant that the
United States takes first drank. We not
only have the wires, but we use them.
In 1886 the number of messages sent in
this country was 72.000,000, more than
Great Britain, which came second. with
33, .459 messages, France taking the
third place, with 29,452, EOS messages.
and Germany fourth, with 1919. S55.
There are also now in existence in the
United States 12s, 231 miles of wires used
by telephone companies, through which.
in 1886, 312,605, $50 messages were
transmitted. = New York Commercial
